Everyone romanticizes selling everything and hitting the road in an RV — but nobody really talks about the emotional side of downsizing.

In this episode of the Project RV: Living Lost Podcast, we’re getting honest about what it actually felt like to downsize from a full apartment into RV life, what surprised us the most, and why letting go of stuff can be way harder than expected. This isn’t a minimalist flex or a “spark joy” pep talk — it’s a real conversation about guilt, attachment, storage units, small spaces, and the unexpected positives of owning less.

If you’re thinking about downsizing, living in an RV, or just overwhelmed by your stuff, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we talk about:

✅ What downsizing actually felt like emotionally (and why it caught us off guard)

✅ Going from a 1,000 sq ft apartment to RV life — and putting the rest in storage

✅ Why getting rid of “perfectly good” items can feel worse than keeping them

✅ The truth about storage units

✅ Being a doom pile person — and why small spaces don’t let clutter hide ✅ How RV life changed our relationship with cleaning and organization

✅ Why downsizing in an RV isn’t just about space, but also about weight and safety

✅ Letting go of traditional souvenirs and finding new ways to hold onto memories

Whether you’re full-time RVing, planning to downsize, or just curious about living with less, we hope this episode gives you a more honest look at what the process is really like.

Episode 3 – How to Handle RV Breakdowns Without Losing Your Chill 🎙 Project RV: Living Lost Podcast

Welcome back! In this episode, we’re talking about every RVer’s worst nightmare—breakdowns. And not just little “oopsies.” We’re talking cracked trailer frames, broken axles, flat tires in the middle of nowhere, major truck repairs, and more.

We'll cover:

• Our most ridiculous RV breakdowns (and how we made it through)
• Practical steps to take when your rig gives out
• Our favorite tools and roadside resources
• How to protect your sanity and your pets during mechanical meltdowns
• Why sometimes the best fix… is pizza and a hotel
